Delusive

Tue, 9 Mar 2010 09:37:54 -0500

About this video:
In modern times, in a metropolitan city, it is easy to create a whole other identity. This is especially true for the young and naive who choose to befriend those whom they do not really know. Lying, cheating, stealing, and even murder make it easy for one to assume the identity for another. If we are not careful as to whom we become friends with, we too may fall victim to those who prey on our kindness and friendship.

"Delusive" A short film in super 16mm. Based off a scene from "The Talented Mr. Ripley" Starring: Cage Cass, Pamela Fila, & Thomas J. Pilutik

Director: Angelique Letizia - Director of Photography: Jon Edwards - Editor: Jon Edwards

Michael Fredo’s Gnome World

Sat, 4 Apr 2009 10:46:47 -0400

About this video:
When Michael Fredo isn't singing with the Michael Fredo Orchestra, he is most likely sculpting. His newest creation, Gnome World has been described by him as a "Livable Installation." That means, since the Gnome World was built into the closet of a studio apartment in the West Village of New York City, one could actually live among the Gnomes. At first, it appears to be a normal small studio apartment with all the humble ammenities such as a kitchen, bed, and bathroom... but then, open the closet and there you have it, a real Gnome World. The installation will be open to the public at the end of April. Just go to http://mygnomeworld.com to RSVP and be a part of this revolutionary art on it's opening night.

Filmed By: Hunter Baker & Jon Edwards
Edited By: Jon Edwards
Directed By: Michael Fredo
Soundtrack Contains Original Songs Written and Performed by Michael Fredo.
